Ingredients

2 tablespoons of coconut oil

Lipstick

2 tablespoons beeswax

Steps

1

Bring some hot water to a boil in a pot. Place all ingredients in a heat-proof bowl.

2

Place the bowl over the pot. Sit it in a steamer basket or steamer pan on top of the saucepan of boiling water. Stir while the ingredients melt over the heat.

3

Take it off of the heat once the mixture is fully combined. Being very careful, pour the hot liquid into lip balm pods and old lipstick pods.

This will make around 2 lipstick pods and 1 lip balm pod.

Put the containers of liquid in a secure place for it to cool for several hours. Once cool, it will set hard and is ready for use.
